Just returned from a fabulous vacation in Maui, but this tour was a low point. Beautiful scenery, for sure, but the trail ride was treacherous and torturous. I love horseback riding, but it seemed like every step these horses took was agonizing. The trail was steep and rocky. I swear, we were lucky no horse or rider got hurt. You... More

We were lucky with our weather on the day of our ride. Beautiful and expansive views all the way down. Makana (sp) was our guide and he was fantastic!!!! Great sense of humor and always had a smile on his face. I was thrilled to have Mele as my horse. She had a lot of spunk and did the funniest... More

I love horsebackriding and was very excited to try a different horsebackriding excursion in Maui than I did the last time I visited. The worst thing was our tour guide, Ra. He was very unfriendly, was yelling at hikers on the trails, was very stern with our group. I was riding right behind him and was so intimidated that I... More

This was definitely one of those "once in a lifetime" experiences. The austere beauty of the ride is unmatched and you feel like you are on a different planet at times. The horses are tame and sure-footed, so even the greenest riders will have no trouble at all. They advise you to wear a sweatshirt and long pants....for your own... More

My girlfriend and I did the Pony Express ride mid April and the trip was fun and well worth it! Ra (Robert) was our guide and he had a good sense of humor and was very knowledgeable about the area. The horses themselves looked well taken care of, they were very well behaved and easy to ride. So for those... More

This is one of the most unique experiences from years of travelling. The ride starts at about 10,000 feet elevation and criss-crosses the face of Haleakala using the Sliding Sands hiking trail. The views are other-wordly and awe inspiring. The horses are docile and surefooted. This is a full day commitment. Check-in is at 8:30 a.m. and then it's another... More

I took a horseback ride into the crafter on Monday, March 25 with Pony Express. I cannot imagine how the weather could have been worse unless it was snowing but given the conditions - low cloud cover, no visibility, pouring rain and freezing cold - I actually had a good time. My horse, Trace, had some spark which I very... More

My wife and I had heard that the horseback ride with Pony Express Tours into the Haleakala volcano area was a great experience so we decided to do it. We concur with what we had heard -- it was a great experience. Our guide, Ra (short for Robert), did a great job. We were concerned about the weather since we... More

We had a great experience with Pony Express. It was cold and rainy at the top on 2-24-13 and our guide, Ra, said he was going to wait a bit to see if it would clear up a little. We went back to the car to keep warm (there was no visiibility anyway) and I actually dozed off for awhile.... More
